Juno: E10 Stuff White People Like
from Remember Shuffle · host Remember Shuffle
The 2000s were such an apolitical decade that even the folk music and abortion movies lacked any social commentary. Remember Shuffle takes a look at 2007’s “Juno” and asks some Very Important Questions™: is Juno an indie film darling that struck gold, or a cynical cashing-in on the twee craze of the aughts? Is it a sweet film about an independent and self-sufficient teenager maturing and embracing vulnerability, or is it a coded message to the working class that the bourgeoisie is fracturing and through class solidarity there is a world to win? Is Juno single-handedly responsible for the Dobbs decision stripping away reproductive rights in most of America, or can movies not do that?Links to Jordan’s Book:Booktopia:https://www.booktopia.com.au/ugly-paul-fenech/book/9781761043727.htmlPenguin website:https://www.penguin.com.au/books/ugly-9781761043727
